Poems & Storytime are the best!!

We are about halfway through Beyond and enjoying it so much!! My daughter happens to be in the older age range for this guide, but it is working great because we are using Rod & Staff English, dictation and math at her level. I wasn't sure when we first began if Beyond could ever outshine Little Hearts. I have to say...they are BOTH amazing! I have done a few of the upper guides, so I already know how much I loved those and look forward to them with my younger group.
My favorite part (which surprises me!) is the Poems!! My daughter copies them nicely on lined paper then glues them on nice cardstock and uses the *expensive* pencils to draw a picture to go with the poem. I put them in page protectors in a floppy folder and she has so much fun showing everyone who visits her beautiful work!! Such great fun!
My daughter and I have been waking early and having tea while we work through her school. These quiet moments have been such a joy to both of us. Our favorite time together is storytime! We are just finishing up A Cricket in Times Square. What a great story. We have laughed out loud so many many times reading Sai Fong's parts. And Tucker mouse is hilarious too! We cried while reading the Sarah Witcher story. I read this book when my oldest was around this age and probably cried then too! The fathers faith is so stirring!
I just had to share the fun we have been having. I tell everyone I know about HOD! I don't know how many people I have converted, but I just can't help but share all of these beautiful memories I feel so blessed to be able to have.
